Matron Carew in the Maternal and Child Welfare Clinic at Cherbourg 1962
Matron Carew arrived at the settlement soon after the clinic opened in 1954. She oversaw the hospital and clinic staff until her retirement in the 1970s. On the table are boxes with the supplements issued to the mothers who came to the clinic. The flowers in the vases on the table and counter were grown in the clinic garden tended by Aboriginal gardeners.
